The standard Singapore English is the standard form of English used in Singapore. Moreover, it is often used in work or when communicating with people of higher authority. The Singaporean accent has different influences. The American influence, some grammar rules are derived from American English. American pronunciation of certain words also tend to be more prevalent in Singapore. Malay, Indian and Chinese is mainly influenced by British English and American English.

Here are some examples:- Airdash = Going somewhere in a hurry- Stadium = A bald man with a fringe of hair- Glassy = Wanting a drink- Timepass = A distraction to pass the time

Hinglish is also the way English is pronounced by people speaking Hindi.
